Digital Disruption: The Future Factory Transformation

Description

Digital technology is progressing at a rapid pace while both solutions and challenges continue to emerge and create further complexity for business owners. DMDII will host participants for a one day experiential learning workshop to explore how digital technologies impact the factory floor and are redefining how people, processes and equipment will function in the “Future Factory.”

Utilizing the Future Factory Platform to demonstrate key applications of digital manufacturing, DMDII will provide an introduction of digital tools into the manufacturing environment. DMDII will showcase companies and use cases across the production cycle in order to provide a wide variety of digital technology experiences that will be applicable to many organizations’ unique digital journey needs.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

Introduce participants to digital tools in the manufacturing environment

Demonstrate technology use cases that are commercially available and have proven ROIs, which willallow participants to understand the solution, real life applications, and understand the financialimplications of implementation

Provide proven, actionable approaches that help them solve problems and capitalize on new opportunities

REASONS TO ATTEND

The event will be an opportunity to be educated on trends and cutting-edge technologies, best practices andhands-on learning in the ever-evolving digital manufacturing space.MEANINGFUL CONTENT+ Provide meaningful insight on a range of technologies allowing organizations to understand and calculateROI potential prior to implementation+ Accelerate digital technology learnings through curated content that spans multiple functions across theproduction cycle+ Gain access to a digital technology assessment tool to determine your organization’s digital readinessIMPACTFUL DEMONSTRATIONS+ Learn practical, actionable solutions that can be immediately adopted into your organizations operations,without implementing a disruptive change program+ Exposure to easily pilotable, commercially available digital technologiesIMMERSIVE, RISK-FREE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT+ Applied learning through utilization of realproduction equipment and experiencedtechnical professionalsENGAGING ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION+ Stay current with what tactics are working todayand what tactics might work tomorrow+ Learn best practices of digital technologyimplementation through roundtable discussionPRODUCTIVE NETWORKING+ Engage with many like-minded manufacturerprofessionals that are also on their digital journey+ Obtain an objective assessment of 3rd partydemonstrated technologies, learning the strengthsand weaknesses of each demonstrated product

The Future Factory Platform is a neutral sandbox for experimentation, testing, development and validation of next generation Digital Manufacturing solutions.UI LABS is an innovation accelerator that leverages its network of hundreds of partners from universities +industry to address problems too big for any one organization to solve. Our mission is to transformindustries, starting with manufacturing and infrastructure, using digital technology. We drive value for ourpartners and help make the U.S. economy and workforce the most productive in the world.In February 2014, UI LABS announced the formation of its first innovation platform, the Digital Manufacturingand Design Innovation Institute (DMDII), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, to transformAmerican manufacturing through the digitization of the supply chain. DMDII’s goal is to provide U.S. factorieswith the tools, software and expertise they need to build things more efficiently, less expensively, and morequickly, so they can win more business and bring jobs back to the United States.
